Dame Riovanne Duclare

Sculpted by battle and defined by faith, Dame Riovanne wears her history on her sleeve. Her appearance shows the aftermath of a youth spent at war: faint wrinkles line her face from stress, a long scar runs across the bridge of her nose (barely missing her eye), and her build is well-muscled from long marches in heavy armor.

Regardless of outfit or situation, Rio wears a Halonic rosary on her sword arm (right wrist). This rosary contains numerous prayer beads and several small charms that seem to have meaning to her:
- A solid golden emblem of three spears, a common symbol of the warrior goddess' faith
- A blue shield bearing the emblem of a white swan, the symbol of Saint Finnea
- A silver coffee mug, its handle used as a fastener to the rosary, with brown enamel detail to look like the mug is full
- A glowing moonlight-blue Auracite sword charmPerceptive Ishgardians might recognize and pick out a certain coarseness to her speech that would mark her as being from the Brume, either to highborn nobles or to her fellow lowborn.Active or former temple or house knights might have served with her and recognize her, albeit a few years older and with some additional scars from the road.Clergy of Halone who spend their time in the Holy See might have seen Rio during one of her routine visits to pray to the Fury and offer tithes.She fought zealously for the Holy See in the Dragonsong War. Former allies (or enemies) in that war might remember her as a skilled and respected battlefield commander, to the boon of Ishgard and the woe of her enemies.She followed Lord Aymeric after the war ended, helping to defend Ishgard's newfound peace. Those who did the same might recall her as an ally in that chaotic time.

- WU/T Friendly!- Fairly new to RP in FFXIV, but not to RP in general (D&D, other online games like WoW, ESO, even City of Heroes and Neverwinter Nights for my fellow olds).- Mature themes accepted, but not explicit Dark themes (particularly involving any form of SA).- More than happy to join pop-up RP and world RP!- I'm still learning a lot of lore, so if something doesn't make sense in her backstory please let me know.- Not looking for a partner or any romance storyline; Rio has a partner who is played by my IRL spouse.
